LAUSD Parents' Bill of Rights and Responsibilities

Parents as Equal Partners in the Education of Their Children, a resolution adopted by the Board of Education in December 2010, embraces family strengths and assets as essential to the academic success of students, and recognizes parents as the first and most important lifelong teachers of their children. To that end, families and schools accept responsibility for student success and commit to a partnership that:

Maintains high expectations for student achievement

Ensures all children are college and career ready

Promotes productive conversation and collaboration

Reflects mutual respect and support for each other

Parents Have the Right to:

A free, quality education that honors their child’s learning and achievement

An education that prepares their child for college and 21st century careers

A welcoming environment that values family assets and contributions to learning

Parents' Bill of Rights

FAMILIES MATTER!

Student Achievement Starts Here!

On December 14, 2010 the LAUSD Board of Education adopted the Parents As Equal Partners in the Education of their Children resolution. The resolution seeks to expand and deepen parent engagement throughout the District. The resolution specifically called for the creation of the first ever Parents' Bill of Rights and Responsibilities to assist parents and schools in forming stronger partnerships to support student achievement.
